This week, I am purposely taking some time away from HQ workouts and working directly on my olympic lifting skills. It’s important to me to get stronger while also getting faster, and I’ve noticed that my cleans, presses, deadlifts, squats and snatches have all sort leveled out. …at lower weights than I’d like I might add.
